2024 Jubilee Auction & Dinner
Featuring a Powerhouse of Genetics Herdsires, Farm Equipment, Fashion, Food & Fun
Join us once again for the Jubilee Live Auction on Saturday evening at 6:30pm - immediately following the Jubilee Dinner. As in the past, we look forward to a fabulous lineup of farm equipment, fiber supplies, and other alpaca related items. In addition, we will have outstanding Herdsire breedings with elite genetics available for you to bid on. Their accomplishments in the ring and as producers are too numerous to list here so be sure to check each one out on the Auction page and in the Show Book. We are offering complimentary pens to house the herdsires donated so that you can get "hands-on" viewing...and bid on a breeding to take you to another level! As always, we want to thanks all of the farms, vendors, suppliers, and other contributors advantage of their generous donations - but most of all we want to thank all of you who attend and bid for making this such a successful and FUN event. All are welcome to attend the auction!
